Against Austin

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Austin, 87 km to the southwest, at 1,483 kWh per kW. Buckholts models 28 kWh per kW (1.9%) above it. Buckholts lies 0.57 degrees of latitude north of Austin, which on sun angle alone would point the other way, so clouds, haze and the weather station's record carry the difference. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (2.4 km and 1.5 km), so station distance does little to explain the gap, and the weather record does the rest.

The second-nearest large place is Houston, 206 km southeast, where the same model gives 1,422 kWh per kW, so Buckholts runs 89 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Buckholts runs at least 2% higher in April. It runs at least 2% lower in February, July, December.

Scale the Buckholts model to another array size, take off extra losses for shade or dirt, and price the energy at any rate. It is arithmetic on the PVWatts output above, nothing more: not a quote, not a savings estimate and not advice.

Starting rate: the Texas residential average of 15.4¢ per kWh. At that rate the modeled output is worth $233 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
